Publication (again!)

No, no! It's still not me! Husband's second book has just hit the shelves! And this is the exciting one. You can admire this book's cover here.

I've followed the progress of "Taxpayers' Rights in South Africa" since 1994 as we sat watching the constitution of the newly democratic South Africa become entrenched in our law. Since then, Beric has been fascinated with the interplay between his passion (tax) and constitutional law. It's been a long road: first short articles, then detailed research, then his PhD and now, finally, publication. There's one more step to go. He wants to convert this book into an easier, more accessible guide for the man in the street; sort of "An Idiot's Guide to Taxpayers' Rights". That's the version I'll understand!!

For the moment, I'm happy to bask in the reflected glory of being the wife of a published author. But next time you see this title on my blog I hope it will be me!

Save the Lion

In the past 50 years, the lion population has declined by 95%. Help save the lion for "What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected." (Chief Seattle 1780 - 1866)
